LOMBARD UNIVERSITY.

The Illinois Universalist Convention
having appointed me to the duty of visit
or to Lombard University for the pres
emit Convention year, and having made
recent visit to that institution, desire
to make report of the present condition
of the University. do this in ful6llment
of my duty to the Convention, the pat
rons Of the school, and from a sense of
justice to the President and faculty of
the college.
First of all, desire to extend my
thanks to President White for the very
cordial manner in which L was received,
and introduced to all the departments of
the university and made acquainted with
its work. The University has splendid
equipment in its competent, faithful and.
conscientious corps of professors and
teachers, its library Of IL, 900 volumes, its
museum, and apparatus for performing
scientific experiments in the department.
of natural sciences. The boarding hall
is commodious structure, situated a
short distance from the college building,
and has ample accommodation for twen-
ty-five or thirty young ladies. 1t is
under the management of Mrs. T. Ct.
Hadley, very capable and accomplished
lady whose influence is eminently bene-
fetal to the young ladies under her
charge. President White expressed to me
his entire satisfaction with the manage
ment OF the boarding hall. There is also
an atmosphere of refinement about the
whole institution, that affords cause
for the most profound gratitude.
There are at present over one hundred
students in the institution, and as / saw
them in body at the chapel service,
they impressed me as being as fine a
company of young ladies and gentlemen,
as can be found in any similar institu-
ton 10 the land. The limited time at my
disposal prevented a visit to each of the
professors as they we're at their work,
but from what was permitted to see,
my persuasion is, that it would be ex-
tremely difficult to find a more able,
painstsking and thorough body of teach
ers, than those who preside in the class
rooms of Lombard University. The
patrons of the institution may well con-
graduate themselves on having placed
their sons and daughters in the midst Of
such educational advantages as surround
them here. There is also thoughtful
care and oversight extended from the
faculty to the students that is certainly
refreshing to witness. At no time in the
history of the institution has it been

THREE CHOICE rRAcr-sERMoNs

THREE CHOICE TRACT
Three most important topics are treat
ed by Rev. DIR. Hanson in three sermons
in tract form, that ought to be scattered
like snow flakes. Better missionary doc
uments cannot be found. The Resur-
rection of Damnation" is a full exposi-
ton Of that important subject. "The
Atonement" covers that great central
theme Of Christianity; and Justice and
Mercy Reconciled" shows how God can
be just and yet the Saviour Of all man.

Rev. Sophie Glib preached another of
her great gospel sermons on practical
Christianity at the Universalist church
last evening. Such sermons should be
heard by the millions. She appeals to
the reason and conscience of humanity
not to smother all the divinity OF love in
this life for hope of an eternal future
beyond. The physical life belongs as
much to God, as the spiritual infinite is

rightly interpreted, and puts religion into
practice in the family circle, in the school

and man. Love is her theme, and bliss

MISSIONS TO FOREIGN LANDS.

at the recent session of the Universal
list General Convention, special COM
mittee, appointed in 1886, reported on
the subject of Foreign Missions their
conclusions:
l. That it is the present duty of the
Universalist church to engage in work
of Foreign Missions. 2. That Japan of
fers the most inviting field for such work.
And they recommended:
That the Trustees of the General Con-
vention be instructed to solicit special
contributions to be applied to the sup
port of mission in japan, and to invite
gifts and requests for Foreign Mission
Fand.
The recommendation was adopted by
the Convention, in view of the estimate
of the Special Committee that the ex-
pense OF maintaining mission in Japan
might reach $4,000 per year. At the New
York session, certain friends of the move
ment volunteered annual subscriptions
for five years, provided the whole should
amount to the sum just named, in all
$4,000, one fifth payable each year.
Those who have thus far made pledges
in this interest are:
Gen. Olney Arnold, Pawtucket, R. l., 5000
per year.
ga Friend" 5000 per year.
Mr.. Geo. @. Thomas, Philadelphia, 800
per year.
Mr.. g. Ralston Ayres, Philadelphia. 800
per year.
Mr.. H. Fl. Darling, Troy, N. Y, $50 per
year.
Rev. E. G. Sweetser, Philadelphia, 800
per year.
Hon. Henry B. Metcalf, Pawtucket, R. l.,
800 per year.
Mr.. John L. Sweet, Attleboro, Mass, $50
per year.
Mr.. VIM. H. Hart, Jr., Philadelphia, 800
per year.
Besides these pledges, ther are already
in the Convention treasury, as reported
by the Trustees at the New York session,

$617 70
In behalf of the Board of Trustees, and
in obedience to the instruction of the
Convention, we solicit further special
contributions in this interest.
The friends of the movement are es-
pecially urged to see that the necessary
funds shall be provided, so that it may
be undertaken at the earliest possible
moment Let subscriptions be made as
early as may be by letter to the Secretary
of the General Convention, Rev. G.. L.
Demarest, Manchester, N. H., to whom
also, when made valid, all subscriptions
will be payable, and acknowledgment
will be made in the denominational pa
pers.
And "as soon as sufficient sum has
been raised and definite pledges to justify
entering upon the movement, the Board
of Trustees are authorized to establish
Mission as proposed"
We also invite requests and gifts for a
